dividing his ipersonal time ana attention between Mobile andPensacolaI dont want any of it said a Mobileman rciho was approached as apossible sirbscriber to the stock of the local hotel Its a good thing anaespecially good for Pensacola but as a man interested in Mobile you cantot expect me to put money into anything that would take Charley Herveyaway from hero half his time He Is too valuable a citizenrrhat is ihow BIbbnians think of Hervey because of the hotel he operates in Mobile and the way he Is heart and soul In everything that meansthe prosperity and progress of Mobile That is the kind of a citizen thatPensacola can get along with the hotel and be paid 21000 a year rentalwith taxes and insurance on top of it as a special inducementTho rpntal Trill be money In the pockets of he

worTlwould no longer say Bum but Best in the south when discussing Peneacolas hotel accommodationsSuch a hotel would mean that traveling men would 310 longer regardthis city as a place to avoid when possible but as a place to seek out forSunday In preference to other cities in this trade territorySuch a hotel would mean that Instead ofgenerally saying We areslow In some respects the people of Pensacola could say If you dontbelieve iwo are the real thing come an1 see Tvhat sort of a hotel we haveSuch a hotel would mean that instead of the reputation or Pensacolabeing hurt dally thousands orfUIlfrk 1dIby unfriendly critics because of the miserable lack of modern hotel facilities Pensacola would have a friend arooter a booster a champion in tman ando and everyana 1 woman wiho stayed

business man can afford not to take stock in a legitimate andsounaenterprise that will bring a man like Mr Hervey here as a citizen and apower of progress In the community For Pensacola to fail to raise the150000 of stock snfbscrlptions under The plan of organizationwould bepitifully foolish to put it mildlyThe Tampa Tribune MakesA Startling ConfessionWhen The Tournal called attentionto the fierce onslaughts that some ofthe chief Gilchrist newspaper supporters were making upon the PrimarySystem and then asked for information as to whether or not these viewsrepresented General GHchrists ownsentiments in the matter we had noIcea that the question would precipitatesuch general alarmnot to speak ofthe exhibitions of ignorance whichhas since been evident among heGUchrist adherents jThe Tampa Tribune for Instancerot only exhibits alanm for its candidate ibut it makes a confession 01ignorance of his position on the Primary System which is positively startling In answering The Journal theTribune among other things saysThe editorial which gave The Journal such alarm headed The Iniquitous Primary System was writtenwithout the slightest regard to Gilchrist what he might think about itor wihat ho might do alxmt it Weare as ignorant of his opinion as isjq n > gJ wa q tw aa act maatoned in this pronouncement from beginning to end and the question of hI Selection had nothing whatsoever to dowith it or its production It was Intended solely as an expression of disgust for the rank abuse the primarysystem has brought about In Floridathe gross injustice it perpetrates bjabsolutely debarring from aspirationto Public office every poor man in thestate no matter how conspicuous maybe his intellectual development 3ilt >qualities of statesmanship and his fitness to serve the peopleWas ever a confession more slgnificant After denouncing and callingfor the abolition of the Primary Sysr tern under which a governor is to benominated after hailing General GilChrist as the Statesmanunder whomas governor the state as to be redeemed from the clutch of those whrnow advocate the Primary Systemafter all this the Tribune confessesChat on the question of Gilchrists attitude toward the Primary EWE AREAS IGNORANT OF HIS OPINION ASISTRE JOURNALAt the < same time Gilchrists campaign manager writes The Journalthat General Gilchrist has taken avery decided stand on this questionrNot only is he in favor cf the primary for the election of county stateand municipal office s but he te evenso pronounced in his platform as tostate positively that fn the event heis governor all Xacancfea to be filledby appointment shall bo ile4 after aprimary election wherever the primary election is feasibleNow here is a propositisn for youGeneral Gilchrists campaign manager writes that he has talien a verydecided stand en this question and isvery pronounced in his platformconcerning it while at the same timeoils chief newspaper supporter and thechief AntlPriniary advocate in thestate says it Is absolutely ignorantof his opinion on the matterWe know of but one precedent orparallol for such ignorance on a candidate or a campaign issue When thecommittee on resolutions of the StLouis convention four years ago waswrestling with the financial plank intheir report Mr Bryan asked MrHill where Judge Parker stood on themoney question and Mr Hill repliedthathe didnt knowOf course everybody knew thatJudge Parkers position on the moneyquestion was identical with that ofhis chief advocate in the conventionMr Hill If it should now developthat General Gilcihrists position onthe Primary System Is identical withhat of his chief newspaper supporterthe Tampa Tribune the parallel willbe complete and the cases of MrHill and the Tribune Will go down inhistory as the most pronounced examples of ignorance which politicalannals affordThe Tribune accuses The Journalof blending together two of the formers editorials for the purpose ofconveying a false impression to thepeople of Florida The Journal published what the Tribune said on bothsubjects Gilchrist and the Primaryand if the people of Florida havegot any false impression from thatit is the Tribunes fault not oursWe would suggest however that ourcontemporary now get busy and do alittle blending with its candidate forgovernor and the AntiPrimary issueIn the meantime we should be delighted hear from General Gilchrist Ihimself on the subject If he is iright on it we want to so place him Ibefore the people of Florida If heis wrong let its know it nowBusiness Men ShouldEncourage BaseballThe Journals
